spherosome

Could we have the following new term?

The dictionary of cellular and molecular biology: spherosome Lysosome-like compartment in plants that derives from the endoplasmic reticulum and is a site for lipid storage. Author: John Lackie

<lipid particle ; GO:0005811 ; synonym:lipid droplet %ascus lipid droplet ; GO:0005633 %lipid storage body (sensu Viridiplantae) ; GO:0012511, GO:0009520 ; synonym:oil body ; synonym:oleosome %spherosome ; GO:000nnnn

Check that this is not the same as oleosome (Ox Dict of Biochem & Mol Biol suggests it is).

You`re right:

The dictionary of cellular and molecular biology: oleosome Plant spherosome rich in lipid that serves as a storage granule in seeds and fruits. There are none of the enzymes characteristic of lysosomes. Author: John Lackie

So should we create a synonym term?
